Remember the lovable pooch in "As Good As It Gets"?? The dog almost stoled the movie from Jack Nicholson and Helen Hunt. Well this quirky little film, shot in Los Angeles, is another one! I rented this movie twice before I decided it had to be in my "Permanent" Collection. Giovanni Ribisi is perfect in this film as a "depressed" writer (In LA? come on!!) and the supporting cast doesn't let you down. A real indy delight.

Well written, well acted movie.
Not for you if your looking for action, or sex.
But if you enjoy a good story, with good performances, and dogs are almost always good, then you can't go wrong with this movie.
A man's psychiatrist tells him he needs a dog, I wasn't sure that would be so good for the dog. Little did I know the guy didn't stand a chance.
A lot of fun, but not for those who need a fast paced film.

We all know that you don't watch these movies for the earth moving stories. You watch them to be entertained. And it does entertain. It's not as good as American pie, knocked up or super bad. And it doesn't try to be. It is a light hearted romantic comedy that delivers a few laughs, but you wont be disapointed if you miss it. Or remember it long after you've seen it. In short it's ok to kill a few hours, ok rental, don't bother buying, Oh and definately not for the little kids as there are several moments in the movie of extremly vulgar language, if your looking for nudity definately skip because there is just a quick flash of nipples and that is it.

You must see this movie!

I rented this film on a whim because I love dogs, and also, Giovani Ribisi (...who couldn't?). Then I bought it.

Boy was I glad I did.

The dialogue is extremely well written and funny, the photography is gorgeous, the acting superb, and the story profound, quirky, warm, full of insight, and often laugh-out-loud hilarious.

Anyone who tends to get addicted to a certain movie will, most likely, develop a habit for this one. It's a work of art.

Hip. Kooky. Touching. Somewhat twisted. Ultimately moving.

Writer/director/actor(the best friend) Scott Caan, is an actor/director/writer to look out for in times to come...

I'm sure his future is going to light up the sky.
